Many Islamist and Marxist regimes are noted for their anti-American sentiments- often disguised as criticism of the War on Terror. Those with anti-American sentiments often lack the liberty celebrated in America and therefore hate America because of the freedoms available to the American people, and many are liberals who believe that other nations are equal to or beyond America in their achievements. There are some others who envy America's military might and ability to spread democracy who dislike America for doing so.
